(2) computer
The use of the software for testing. (Start - Control Panel - Printers - right-click - Properties - print a test page)
How to clean nozzle
(1) No Computer
Hold down the printer cleaning button more than 4 seconds, it will self-cleaning.
(2) a computer
Start - Control Panel - Printers - Properties - application tools - Cleaning Nozzle
Print the use of Information
1, the new self-cleaning cartridge on the machine, please nozzle through the self-test status, if bad, just by printing operation manual cleaning print head, in order to achieve the best print status.
2, the new cartridge, once down machine, before the replacement cartridge must not be removed.
3, if the print on the way there white lines or color cast, they should stop printing self-test 1-2 times to wash.
4, side 1 hour after the renewal of printing, the printer to stop printing 5-10 minutes in order to protect the life of the printer print to ensure the printing.
5, under normal operating conditions, should start reducing the number of times per day.
6, a day after use, should be allowed to print to the most right before the first reset power.
7, a view to the printer for cleaning maintenance.
The factors that affect the print photo quality
Cartridge quality; media choices: different brands, different textures of paper, the effect of printing different (as compared with white paper, the color is more vivid picture play);
Clarity of the original image; print output resolution of choice; the use of different software to print pictures, color saturation are different;
Print head maintenance:
Print the entire ink-jet printer head is the most expensive parts, but it is not as you imagine so easy plug;
General print head clogging, cleaning print head can be completely resolved;
The key is to maintain proper operation of the printer and select high-quality printer cartridges;
The general life of the printhead cartridge for the replacement of 20-30 units; a large number of printed text than the print head life of a large number of printing color, halftone or gray-scale graphics long;
When the black or color ink to make lights blink or light up when you can not clean the print head, you should replace the ink cartridge;
Must be maintained within the printer to install the ink cartridges have sufficient ink for a long time do not use the printer easy to create print head clogging, and must ensure that use at least once a week, or print head may be a result of being blocked by the ink dried up; right printer is not frequently used proposed to shut down before cleaning the print head;
EPSON inkjet printer works with CANON, HP is different from what it used multi-head technology to spray ink point was bead-shaped, point to leave the nozzle in the ink will not form a mist, they are able to make a clear printing results, in particular, PHOTO series more suitable for printing pictures. However, the construction of different printers, EPSON is easier than CANON into the air, so easier to plug.
Interpretation of special parameters, play better results
Referred to the parameters of the printer, you may be very familiar to say, print resolution, print speed, print format, print, interface, print language, print, load ... ..., in addition to these common parameters, you also know that some of the specific parameters of the printer do ? Oh, so-called special, they showed that these parameters have not every printer, but only a special printer was owned. OK, let's take a look, and whether what "unusual" and printing parameters of bar!
Borderless printing
This parameter is usually unique to photo printers, photo printers that it says if there Borderless printing results, print out that photo, there is no little white border, the paper all the regions are photos content; usually choose the parameter will become Photos an important basis for the printer, after all, support "Borderless Printing" printer, print out photos effects more realistic, more real. At present, the market launch, the high-end photo printers, almost all such indicators.
Page output time
This parameter is usually unique to laser printers, which print operations, said in issuing the order, the printer need to spend more time before the contents of the output will be the first. Under normal circumstances, making black and white laser printer when printing, will be completed within 20 seconds the content of the first output of work; Of course, if the printer resolution is set to 300dpi or above, then the time may be a little bit longer, but also in print larger than A4 format materials, First page out time become longer. Generally speaking, those who printed text materials, more frequent users, will be concerned about the argument, after all, the parameter can reflect the level of office efficiency.
Print Warm-up Time
This parameter is commonly found in laser printers, it is said that the printer connected to the power at the moment, to the printer can start printing normally required when the length of time spent, the smaller the value of the parameter, then it shows laser printer "response" more sensitive, print efficiency would be higher; the contrary, laser printers, "response" slow, work performance, not very good. Under normal circumstances, most laser printers can be within 30 seconds to complete a good warm-task. For those who deal with the immediate tasks more users, this parameter appeared to be very important, because these users may need to frequently switch the printer, if the preheating time for a short time, then the efficiency will naturally high in print.
Print Noise
This parameter is commonly found in stylus printer and inkjet printers, which indicates the printer print the paper dealing with the noise of the size. Different models, different quality of the printer, the noise at work the size of a big difference, if you compare to the noise "allergy", then, we should give serious consideration to the size of the parameter, and the parameter tends to be used as a measure of decibels. Currently on the market, many high-end inkjet printer the size of the noise, almost able to control at 37 dB to 40 dB between most of these printers use a low-noise motor, while the use of five motor system does not need to switch the drive to truly realize the silent printing. In contrast, stylus printer noise becomes a bit "harsh", and Fortunately stylus printer has been gradually "retreated into the shadows."
A straight beat India, first-line connected
This parameter is unique to the digital photo printer, it indicated whether the printer supports direct printing from digital camera storage media content. Printer supports this feature, mostly using dye-sublimation printing technology, or using on-demand thermal inkjet printing technology, with high-quality photo printing paper, you can print out the excellent image results. The so-called "a film portrait" is the printer and computer do not need to connect directly connect a digital camera, you can print out digital photos, for example, on the market Canon 470D, HP 7155, Epson and other printers of the 830U are support direct connection of digital cameras print; the so-called "first-line connected" is a professional data connection cable to printer and digital camera built-in card reader connected to achieve photo printing, such as the HP 7268 printer, the support of "first-line connected."
Print Color
This parameter is unique to color inkjet printers, it said the color ink-jet printer cartridge that contains many different colors, usually the larger the value of the parameter, then says that the printer the ability to deal with color images will be. Market, most of the original color inkjet printers, have only red, yellow, blue three colors of ink, but with the gradual popularization of four-color, 3 color printers are gradually phased out. Of course, some high-end color inkjet printer, also supports the black, red, yellow, blue, light blue, light red such as six-color, this type of printer has a very precise color printing. For ordinary users, as they deal with large number of written materials, you can consider selecting three-color or four color printers, while a number of images printed users, six-color printers is their best choice.
Double-sided printing
This parameter is commonly found in laser printers, which indicates whether the printer can support in the general printing paper, to achieve both positive and negative printing. The printer supports two-sided printing, not only can effectively save printing costs, but also some of the printer without the need for manual intervention can automate the two-sided printing, thereby enhancing the degree of office automation. For the ordinary inkjet printer for double-sided printing to achieve the desired effect, is almost impossible. Some high-end inkjet printers, the use of a special ink, printing ink sprayed out that there is no infiltration spread and, therefore, inkjet printers can also support two-sided print.
Maximum print speed
This parameter is commonly found in laser printers, laser printers, said it is normal in the horizontal output of the speed A4 printing paper speed. Under normal circumstances, the printer when dealing with English characters maximum print speed of dealing with Chinese characters than the maximum print speed when the larger, horizontal printing speed, it should be less than the vertical speed when printing larger. Of course, the printer's maximum print speed is generally difficult to achieve, slightly high-end printers, only the use of advanced printing technologies, as far as possible the actual print speed close to the maximum print speed.
Automatic Media Identification
This parameter is usually characteristic of ink-jet printer, it says the printer is ink-jet print media, according to the characteristics of auto-adjusting print parameters to get good prints. Generally speaking, with this function printers, with a high degree of automation, it can save a constantly changing print media, you need to constantly change the print settings of trouble, and print out the results, is also very desirable. At present, the printer market, Hewlett-Packard, Canon and other range of products, all support such functionality.
Print Font
This parameter is also a laser printer is an important reference index, which indicates whether the printer supports built-in font functions, if there is this function, then the printer will be able to deal directly with the current material in the character encoding, and printing speed will be improved this way ; If the printer does not support the built-in font functions, it needs to take some time, using a specific method of simulated characters need to be addressed, so that printing speed will naturally slower.
